  1. Not 100% but don't clubs get fined for any fixtures not run. Hence Kings Lynn riding against Rye house this Wednesday.
  2. Race rusty? Bjerre rode 3 times this weekend for Peterborough, Josh G rode for Somerset, Branford riding for Rye, Howarth rode last night for Wolves, JPB rode for GB u21 Sunday need I go on. So not race rusty.
  3. Let's be honest would he go public and say it was a crap night. No don't think so.

    Sadly Groupon doesn't work as all the regulars buy tickets cheap and the revenue goes down. I forget which club did it and it was all over social media, tickets sold out and crowd was very little improved. Just less paid at the gate. Plus if you have a season ticket, you would feel a little P#### if offers were given all the time, and you got nothing extra for your lotyalty. Grrrr
  5. Looking at company records, Leicester Speedway 2017 has been owned by Keith Chapman for the last 11 months, where as Leicester Speedway has been owned and still is according to company records owned by David Hemsley & Nick Hurst. Whatever is happening I hope all goes well, and that it's for the good of speedway. Could it be Buster saw this coming a long time off?

    How about Kevin Wolbert plus a 2 point rider. A little weak at the tail but if they improve we could be well up for it.

    This is just the same as in the past. JAP to JAWA 2 valve JAWA to 4 valve WESLAKE & JAWA Upright to Laydown
  8. Bet his names in the programme. Not going to gain any respect pulling a stunt like this.
  9. Thats what Glasgow and Newcastle thought!!
  10. It's a pity the record books will show Sheffield as champions if they win. Somerset have won the league by 3 points and Sheffield ended 20 points behind. So League champions Somerset (the clue is in the name) Play off winner to be decided. When all's said and done it's only a money maker, a bit like the GP's But then it's all about entertaining the fans so does it matter.
  11. Does any one know what the cut off date is for re declaring a team in the PL

  13. First of all Lambert was the best rider on the night, but picking gate 4 in the final cost him the title. Bates took advantage of this and rode a fantastic race to become champion. But I think the best was last place in the final Jack Parkinson-Blackburn, 4th in the British u21 final at 15 years of age. Let's hope he gets the backing he deserves, he could be as good as Tai.

    Winning the league is all about teams witrh riders upping there averages. Thats what Edinburgh did last season. You have to take a chance. But let's start with a team that can win at home each week. We need to be going home with a smile each Thursday.

    Could he have one due to his Moto 3 racing, just change the employer, ie Red Bull now Sheffield speedway ????
  17. Riders don't become "Crap" over night. Sheffield always have a team of racers not gaters. Nico is another racer, and last night was seen to be trying that many lines to pass the Ippo riders. We just were not making gates. I feel the track is not helping our riders, look what Tay can do when there is grip on the outside. I know we had Stocks last weekend and weather has not been consistent so watering can not be done as they would like. But and it's a big but, if we don't get quality racing the fans will stay away. I can cope with loosing but poor racing never. Give the riders a "Race" track please!!!!!!
  18. Speedway Star keep saying riders are out for 28 days after a head injury. I think this is true of most sports.
  19. I was told it was once a rider has signed in he is not alowed to ride any where else. As Worral won't have signed on is why he was alowed.
  20. Simon never seemed to get out of first gear at Sheffield. His best score being 5 +1 twice and averaged 4.4 at home. I am sure Ben will score more than this very quickly.

    Not sure, but as Colin Meredith was present at Mondays meeting. Perhaps he was looking the track/airfence over to see if we can have the British semi-final. Just a guess

    I understand what is being said, and I am not saying all the new promotion is doing is right. It just takes time and some times to get it right you have to make a mistake or two along the way. I think the main problem we are seeing here is a very limited time, from buying to opening night. Fingers crossed for the future and all that is said on hear is listened to and taken on board in the spirit it is meant and not as critisism. Yours Devils advocates friend.
